Letter to Charles Schultz

Letter dated December 25, 1834, in which Crockett complains of Andrew Jackson's sway with American voters, calling them "Volunteer Slaves (i.e., paid industrial labor)," and announces his plans to leave the United States and move to Texas. Crockett writes that if Martin Van Buren is elected President, "I will leave the United States ... I will go to the wildes of Texas."
